Dogs are for people that need the reassurance of the unconditional love
Cats are for people who have the kind of levels of self-confidence that makes the unconditional love of a dog both suffocatingly annoying and suspicious.
Get a terrier. Best of both worlds. You have to earn their love, and they're as prickly as cats sometimes.
But you can also take them hiking, skiing, biking, or just chilling by a campfire growling at hypothetical bears in the dark forest at night.
Yes, might be really the case. I'm pretty much a cat person and when I'm thinking about getting a dog, then terriers are pretty much on top of the list.
They are also much smarter than cats, which cat owners have problems to admit in their confidence.
A dog is something different and special
I used to think this until I got a dog. The love is not unconditional and the dog takes more work to maintain than the cat.
“Dogs are for people who want a much more interactive pet.”
Would you feel suffocated and suspicious from the unconditional love of your child? Its not about reassurance, its just that it is a beautiful experience in this life, and i give just as much love back to my dog.
if you view disinterested cats as the ideal relationship, I hope you can separate that from your human relationships
Do I detect catholic guilt ?
